What Causes White Spots on Teeth?
Although fluoride is excellent for the enamel of your teeth, there can be times when too much of a good thing may cause problems in terms of their appearance. One example involves a condition known as dental fluorosis. The most common symptom involves a number of noticeably white spots on the surfaces of your teeth. Although superficial in nature, they can be bothersome.
What treatment options will a dentist normally recommend? Here are three effective techniques to discuss with a professional:
- Dental bonding and veneers can be used as aesthetic treatments, as they will cover the spots and mask any slight imperfections that could be present.
- Minor spots can normally be eliminated through professional teeth whitening procedures.
- A process known as microabrasion will remove a thin layer of enamel to smooth the colour of your teeth.
Speak with your dentist to learn more about which of these procedures is the most suitable for your needs.
